That stands for Yet Another Introduction Introduction, like YACC (for those who've studied compilers).
I am a few messages old on the list as a reader (a cousin of mine had recommended it to me), and had conveniently forgotten to intro myself. So, here I am - grew up in Chennai, grew out of it, spent an eventful 10 years in IT as Technologist-Analyst-Manager-Consultant-etc and now contemplating doing something else. Like teaching. In London now. Could return to Adyar or Thiruvanmiyur.
